Chapter 14: Presents and more presents.

Amelia Fason's POV:

I threw on a simple sleeveless black blouse and a white tennis skirt. I brushed my hair and left it cascading

down my shoulders. My new flurry snow-white bag in hand, I ran downstairs into the Gryffindor Common

Room.

" Ready? " Lily asked me as I caught up with her.

" Yup! " I told her, cheerfully.

" So...what are you going to get for James? " I whispered into her ear as we walked across the Hogwarts

grounds.

" What? " she asked me, dazed.

" I said, what are you going to get for James? " I repeated in a louder voice.

" Well...maybe sweets. Enchanted ones. " Replied Lily, thoughtfully.

" Hey, you want a Muggle sweet? " I asked her as I popped a Cola flavored heart shaped sweet into my mouth.

" Muggle sweets? " Lily echoed. " You have them? "

" Yup, " I answered.

" Here? Now? " I nodded my head, enjoying the taste of the Cola flavored sweet melting on my tongue.

" Here, " I handed over the black velvet bag that was bulging with sweets.

" Hmm...Strawberry. Sweet! " she said as she chose a strawberry flavored sweet and handed the bag back to me.

" Well...we're here. I'll see you later in Three Broomsticks, kay? " Lily called.

" Kay, " I agreed and disappeared into a flower shop.

Sirius Black

Sirius entered a flower shop and was instantly being greeted by a tall witch.

" Good morning, lad. " the woman smiled at him in a friendly way. " Come to buy something for your loved

one? "

" Good morning. Err...yes. I want to buy it for a...friend, " he stuttered and began to walk up and down the

small aisles.

" Hmm, that one looks nice. " Sirius told the florist who was indeed tall but elegant witch.

" You want the Scented Pink Rose? " the witch asked him.

" Yes that's what I want, thank you, " Sirius told the woman as he watched the

woman plucks a pink rose of a rack. The woman then placed a red ribbon on the stalk of the rose and

a small card dangled from it.

" Here you go, little lad! " The tall witch said and handed over the rose to him as he paid the money

Amelia Fason's POV:

" What do I get for Sirius? " I muttered under my breath.

" Perhaps a book, " an unexpected voice cut into my long line of thoughts. I gasped and turned around.

Standing there was a short witch who was bespectacled.

" What did you just said? " I asked her, looking surprised.

" I said that maybe you would like to buy a book for this Sirius, whoever he is, " the woman repeated, smiling

broadly at me.

" Uh, thank you for the idea, " I stammered, as I suddenly felt uneasy.

" Your mother told you not to talk to strangers, am I right? " she pressed.

" Uh, that's right. " I stuttered and began to back away from her.

Who is this old lady? Why did she suddenly frightened me?

Questions were swirling around in my mind.

" Um, I've got to go." I told the woman " Have a pleasant day. "

With that, I ran off.

Maybe a book. Yes, maybe I could get him a book. I thought to myself.

But...what kind of book? I know! I'll get for him a Quidditch book. I bet all boys love that kind of books.

I smiled to myself.

I wandered into a bookstore and began to stroll down the long aisles that had rows and rows of books.

After twenty minutes of searching, I found it, all you need to know about Quidditch. A big smile began to form

on my lips.

Yes, this is the book! I thought to myself, happily as I clutched the book in my hands. I brought the book to

the counter and paid for it.

" Uh, excuse me, do you by any chance gift wrap presents? " I asked the pretty witch who stood at the counter.

" Of course my dear! " she told me in a happy voice.

I chose a blue wrapping paper that was filled with zooming Bludgers, some Quidditch players and Golden

Snitches.

Sirius is sure to like it! I thought to myself as I went out of the shop. Suddenly, my eye caught a florist shop.

I developed a liking for flowers.

I was going to buy Floating Petals to play with during the weekend.

Like I told Amelia is a little weird in Chapter 2.
